GAS H ATING STOVE.

Application filed November 28, 1924-. Serial N'o. 752,766.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CORNELIUS L. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Huntington, in the county of Gabell and State of West Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Gas Heating Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is the provision of a gas heating stove that is simple and inexpensive and at the same time is adapted to use to advantage practically all of the heat given off by the consumption of gas in a burner.

Other objects and practical advantages of the invention will be fully understood from the following description and claims when the same are read in connection with the drawings, accompanying and forming part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation showing one embodiment of my invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical cross section of the same.

Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal section of the stove.

Figure 1 is a horizontal section taken in a plane indicated by the line 1& of Figure 3, looking downwardly.

Similiar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings.

Among other elements my novel stove comprises a casing l, mounted on legs 2 and provided in its top with an outlet 3 for products of combustion. The said casing is preferably formed of appropriate sheet metal.

Arranged within the casing 1 is a chamher 5. The said chamber 5 is spaced from the back wall of the casing 1 as indicated by 6 and is also spaced from the end walls of the casing 1 as indicated by 7 and in the end walls of the chamber 5 adjacent to the bottom thereof are openings 8 which establish communication between the interior of the chamber 5 and the lower portions of the spaces or fines 7 as clearly illustrated in Figure 3. In the top of the chamber 5 is an opening 9 for establishing communication between the interior of the chamber 5 and the space 10 above the chamber 5. The said opening 9 is controlled through the medium of a damper 11 fixed to a handle 12 arranged exterior-1y of the casing 1, Figures 1 and 4. The front of the chamber is molded or otherwise formed of a slab of fire clay or other refractory material and is designated by 13. Said front is spaced at 13 from the top wall l l of the chamber 5. The front or slab 13 is provided on its face with protuberances 14 which may be of any desired configuration as shown. The said n'otuberances 1 1 are adapted to scatter the heat and at the same time afford an ornamental red surface when the stove is in operation and the slab 13 is heated by the consumption of gas at the burner 1 f.

Manifestly, when the damper 11 is closed, the heat will be drawn through the space 13* and down in the chamber 5 at the inner side of the slab 13 and will pass from chamber 5 through the openings 8 to the fines 7 and then to the outlet 3. Because of this, the stove is adapted to consume any pressure of gas supplied to the burner. It will also be observed that the products of combustion will pass upwardly in front of the slab 13 and downwardly at the back of said slab with the result that said slab will be highly heated and enabled to give off a large amount of heat.

The casing 1 will be heated by the slab l3 and also by the tortuous passage of prodnets of combustion through the casing, and hence said casing will radiate heat and thereby contribute to the heating capacity of the stove.

In moderate weather when but little heat is desired, the damper 11 is opened whereupon products of combustion will pass upwardly at the front of the slab 13 and through the space 13 and the damper-controlled opening to the outlet 3. From this it follows that the front only of the slab 13 will be heated, and practically no heat will be radiated by the casing 1.

It will be appreciated from the foregoing that notwithstanding the simplicity of its construction, my novel stove is highly efficient in operation and is susceptible of being quickly and easily regulated as conditions require.

I have specifically described the present and preferred embodiment of my invention in order to impart an exact understanding of said embodiment. I do not desire, however, to be understood as confining myself to the structure disclosed, my invention being defined by my appended claims within the scope of which structural changes may be made Without departure from my invention.

Having described by invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is 1. A. gas heating stove having an outer casing with means for the discharge of products of combustion therefrom, an inner chamber located within the outer casing and spaced from the back wall, end walls and top Wall thereof and having Wall openings adjacent to its bottom and also having a damper controlled opening in its top "all, a slab of refractory material forming the front of the lowerport on of said chamber and exposed at the front of the casing and having its upper end spaced belou the top Wall. of the chamber, and burner means in front of the lower portion of said slab.

2. A gas heating stove having an outer casing with means for the discharge of products of combustion therefrom, an inner chamber located Within the outer casing and spaced from the back Wall, end Walls and top Wall thereof and having uall openings adjacent to its bottom and also having a damper controlled opening in its top wail, a slab of refractory material forming the front of the said chan liier and exposed at the front of the casing and adapted to be highly heated and having its upper end spaced below the to Wall of the chamber, the said slab of refractory material being provided on its face with protuberanccs sepd by intervening: spaces and adapted to scatter heat, and burner means in front e lower portion of said slab.

In a store, the ron'ibination of a i ing havingan outlet for the discharge of products of combustirm, a chamber in he connected with said discha outlet, diaper in raid connection betiveen the chamber and discharge outlet, a Slab of refractory material carried by the casing and .l'orining the front of the lower portion of said chamber and having its upper end s aced below the top of the chamber, and means at the front of the slab for heating the same and giving off heated products of combustion.

In testimony whereof I a'll'ix my signature.

CORNELIUS L. TAYLOR.
